Thanks. It seems to work better after I painted it JD green Have about 90lbs hanging on the front. Think the lift arms would go before the draw bar does. Only try to lift what the 3pt would lift. The top link will lift much more than that but try not to do that so I don't break anything.

This worked great in putting a 1,500lb picnic table together. A real back saver. My wife is my helper and she loves it
